9 Assign the track output to the appropriate
path or paths for monitoring.
10 Adjust the Instrument track fader to mix the
audio input.
11 If you are controlling the external MIDI in-
strument from the Instrument track, you can
also mix using the MIDI Volume and Pan con-
trols in the Instrument View.
To monitor and mix audio from an Instrument plug-
in with multiple audio outputs:
1 Use an existing or create a new Instrument
track.
2 Choose View > Mix Window > Instruments to
show the MIDI controls of the Instrument track.
3 Select a multi-output instrument plug-in from
the first Insert selector on the Instrument track
(such as Digidesign Transfuser).
4 The virtual MIDI node (port) for the instru-
ment plug-in should be automatically selected
for the Instrument track’s MIDI Output. If not,
select the MIDI channel and corresponding port
for the instrument plug-in.
5 In the plug-in window, assign the individual
audio outputs of the plug-in.
6 Create an Auxiliary Input track for each out-
put of the plug-in. Make sure the channel for-
mat of the Auxiliary Inputs corresponds to the
channel format of the plug-in outputs (mono,
stereo, or multichannel).
7 Set the inputs of the Auxiliary Input tracks to
receive the individual outputs of the plug-in.
8 Assign the outputs of the Auxiliary Input
tracks to the appropriate path or paths for mon-
itoring.
